2017 Map of Fourteenmile Coulee SE

About this map

Hill Co Chouteau Co divides this rural Montana landscape, where the northern plains of the Big Sky State are defined by a series of significant drainage systems. The terrain is dominated by the southeastward flow of Fourteenmile Coulee, Twelvemile Coulee, and Sixmile Coulee, which carve distinct depressions across the high prairie. This 2017 survey reflects a modern agricultural and ranching layout, centered on a grid of gravel and section-line roads such as Gilford Rd S and N Lonesome Lake Rd. The road network, including family or place-named routes like Gardiner Rd N and Edwards Rd, provides the primary structure for land access between the county lines. Small depressions and seasonal wetlands are scattered across the higher ground between the coulees, illustrating the complex natural hydrology of this semi-arid region.
